Nowadays many cars comes with built-in blind spot detection indicator at the side mirror.

Me old skool still turn ma head to look.

That blind spot monitor at side mirror can help you with blockage caused by A pillars meh? My car doesn't have this so I don't know.

Modern cars design sucks
Everywhere blind spots
Not practical

Probably need strong A pillars to enhance cabin integrity and allow the doors to be able to be opened in a crash.

Honda Jazz has good design with the little triangle windows too. The A pillars are positioned further from the driver.

A mass production of the F1 halo apply to the pillars, which will highly reduce the blindspots.
It should be able bring down the cost if make it happens.

Apart from that,
Those drivers driving vehicles with BLIS BSM, even with the warning, still behave like shit. Give indicator within a second straight away out from the lane, worse even switch lanes with any indication or sign within a second.

I don't understand the relevance of the second paragraph.

Is it good car have the small triangle windows?

Proton anx perodua have?

Can minimise blind spots.

I tested both Jazz and City in 2018. The jazz has significantly less blind spots caused by the A pillars due to the position of the pillars and larger front windows.

My honda siti gm6 A pillar constantly blocking my view everytime during cornering. I have to move my body forward and drive like an 80yrs old granny whenever doing cornering. Roundabouts are the worst

Ayam driving GM6 too. If you see one with only 3 window visors (driver's side tarak), that's probably mine. I don't understand how some owners can stick a visor on the driver's side on a car with such obstructive A pillars.

yup, I notice that too when I drive, old car before 90s does not have this issue

That's because they're designed per old safety standards kot. Those cars have skinny A pillars.
